Paypal/Joomla - Donate Button HTML

Hello, I have used the https://www.paypal.com/donate/buttons/unhosted link for the HTML form as well as the method to generate a code through the main account page.

I have entered this into Joomla (version 3.9.19article code screen for the relating donations page. When viewing in the editor/preview mode it appears to work and it links through to the dedicated donation. However, when I then save and view the page live ,it only seems to link to the generic PayPal homepage and not the specified donation page/user:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" />
<input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="SPECIFIED" />
<input name="item_name" type="hidden" value="SPECIFIED" />
<input name="currency_code" type="hidden" value="GBP" />
<input title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" alt="Donate with PayPal button" name="submit" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/GB/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" type="image" /> <img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></form>

I have replaced the specific code with the word "SPECIFIED" for the purposes of this query. Any suggestions and help with this matter would be much appreciated.
